Written Corrective Feedback

Abstract

Feedback delivery in the form of written corrective feedback on linguistic errors in L2 learners’ written texts has been central to much of the L2 writing and second language acquisition literature since the 1970s. This chapter surveys the various feedback options together with explanations of their typical pedagogical purposes and what we know from the research literature and recent theoretical proposals about the ways in which the feedback options may facilitate or impede the L2 learning process. The chapter closes with a range of recommended pedagogical options based on the available literature.
